You are like the warm sun

Chapter 18 Two People Asking for Leave

Tang Wan left Shao Zhou's house at six o'clock.

She was jogging home with her schoolbag on her back, passing by the school on the way.

It was so early and there were few students on the streets, but I did meet many elderly people jogging in the morning.

After returning home, she took a shower, changed out of her school uniform, and threw her clothes into the washing machine. After doing all this, she called her homeroom teacher and asked for leave for herself and Shao Zhouci.

The reason for her taking leave was that she was sick with a cold.

This is not a lie.

After yesterday's tossing and turning, plus sleeping on the sofa all night, her cold, which hadn't completely healed yet, got worse. She found the cold medicine she had taken the day before and drank it with warm water.

I touched my forehead and fortunately I didn't have a fever.

After taking the medicine, she went into the room and checked the missed calls on her phone while packing her things.

Last night, her uncle called her several times, but she didn't answer because she was afraid of disturbing Shao Zhouci.

After thinking about it, she called him back.

The other party picked up quickly.

"Xiao Wan?"

"Well, I am."

"Why didn't you answer the phone last night? Did you know your uncle was worried about you?"

Tang Wan walked over to the bed and sat down. "Sorry, I'm doing homework and my phone is off. Is there something your uncle wants to talk to me about?"

Li Kuiwen sighed: "Xiao Wan, it's really not safe for you to live alone. Your father is not here, and there is no one to take care of you. You..."

I'm trying to persuade her to move there again.

Tang Wan interrupted him gently: "Uncle, I can take care of myself. Don't mention this matter again."

Hearing the insistence in her words, Li Kuiwen rubbed his brows, remained silent for two seconds, and changed the subject: "Do you have enough living expenses now? If you don't have enough money, tell your uncle. Don't be embarrassed to ask."

"Yes, don't worry."

She would receive both her father's estate and the company's compensation. The company's one-time work-related death allowance, pension, and insurance compensation totaled over two million yuan.

She won't be short of money.

And since she was in elementary school, her father had given her half of his salary every month. Even though she was a student and didn't spend much money, he was always afraid that no one would take care of her after he was gone. So a long time ago, he went to the notary office to make a will, leaving all his inheritance to her after his death.

He wanted to give her as much security as possible.

Tang Wan actually hoped that his precautions would never be needed.

After finishing her call with her uncle, she lay down on the bed.

On the bedside table sat a framed photo of her and her father. She took it and held it to her chest, half-closing her eyes, wishing she could just fall asleep forever.

From the time I was reborn until now, it doesn’t feel real at all, like a fleeting dream that will shatter at the slightest touch.

Dad, I'm so tired...

Around eight o'clock.

Shao Zhouci received a call from his class teacher.

"Shao Zhouci, I heard from Tang Wan that your hand was injured. Are you okay?" Teacher Zhu Zhen was very confused as to why it was Tang Wan who asked for leave for him, so he called to confirm.

"fine."

"That's fine. I was shocked by the severity of her description. Did they go to the hospital?"

"No," he said, now curled up on the sofa.

"If the wound is serious, you still have to go to the hospital to treat it to avoid infection. Do you understand... Shao Zhouci? Are you listening?"

The sleepy boy raised his eyes and no longer wanted to listen to her.

He responded vaguely: "Yeah, I'm listening."

He could no longer hear what the other party said; it went in one ear and out the other.

He narrowed his narrow eyes and looked at the glaring sunlight outside the window. After looking at it for a while with a depressed look, he stood up and closed the curtains, then threw himself onto the sofa, picked up a pillow and fell asleep.
